Trail Notes: This is probably the easiest hike description I’ve had to write. Find where the white blazed Appalachian trail crosses the road and follow it south past the rest rooms and then the brick building on the left. The AT will weave behind an old flower garden and climb a hill to gain the main ridge. From there follow the white blazes.

In about4 miles, come to a spur trail to the left that leads to the Ed Garvey Memorial AT shelter. I’ve only hiked small portions of the AT in VA, MD and PA but have seen several shelters. Believe me when I say this one is the Taj Mahal of them all. It even has a sleeping loft with plexiglass windows facing east to catch the morning sun. The privy is equally impressive.

From the shelter continue south to the junction with the blue blazed Weverton Cliffs spur trail. This may not be signed but should be obvious none the less. Follow it down to the cliffs for a short distance and enjoy the view.
